<p>Hey Guys,
As a prospective international student from overseas with no standardized test scores done other than TOEFL, Hobart and William Smith seemed like one of my few options; I am a Straight As student. The problem is the maximum I can pay for college is $5000/year for the full cost of attendance (room, board, tuition and miscellaneous expenses). Is the financial aid office likely to offer me such a very generous scholarship if my application is highly competitive?
Also, is graduation from here with a 3.5+ GPA likely to get me a spot in an Ivy League Grad School?</p>
<p>Osamasayegh, I know financial aid is available as my (American) son received it, but I don’t know how it’s applied for international students and I don’t know the extent of it. So I have no way of knowing if you can manage to only pay $5000/year. You can email to ask about the financial aid policy for internationals; relavent information and the email address are on the following link:</p>

<p>As far as getting into an Ivy League grad school, there are no guarantees, no matter what your undergrad school is. Just do your best and apply.</p>
